Youth Yarning with Mob brought a group of young Aboriginal people together at the Parliament of Victoria to explore leadership, advocacy and community participation. Discussions were held with community leaders and members of parliament. The program culminated in the production of a podcast series.

Podcast series
Inspired by their discussions, program participants decided to produce a ten-episode podcast series led by young Aboriginal voices in conversation with community leaders and members of parliament.
The podcast was launched at Parliament House in March 2026, and the ten episodes are being progressively published to the Parliament of Victoria YouTube channel.
The series launch attracted national coverage in the National Indigenous Times and on NITV.
